CINCINNATI — Saturday is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, a Drug Enforcement Administration initiative that allows Americans to safely dispose of drugs that might otherwise be at risk of abuse.
Anyone with unused or expired opioids, amphetamines or other potentially addictive and dangerous drugs in their medicine cabinet can take them to the nearest drop-off location between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 22.
In October 2022, the event collected 324 tons of prescriptions across 4,902 different locations nationwide.
Stores like Meijer and some Kroger locations will accept the drug drop-offs, though there are other locations throughout the Tri-State area working to collect any unwanted prescriptions or expired medications.
